Glenn E. Henry
Glenn Earnest Henry was born March 29, 1905, and at the time of his tragic death February 10, 1926, he was aged 21 years, 10 months, and 11 days. He was the only surviving son of Charles J. and Anna Henry. Two brothers and one sister preceded him in death. He is survived by father, mother, five uncles and six aunts.
When 17 years of age he united with the Leatherwood Presbyterian church. It was always his delight to attend church and Sunday school. There he was an interested listener and an attentive scholar. And his inclination in this respect is but a fair and appreciative indication of his manner and viewpoint of life in every respect. He was quite thotful of and obedient to his parents, spending a great amount of his time at home in the pleasures of a good home and the company of fond parents. As compared with his virtues he had few faults and so was almost universally loved and respected by all who knew him, both young and old, great and small.
He liveth long who liveth well!
He liveth longest who can tell
He liveth long who liveth well!
He liveth longest who can tell

Glenn Henry Dies Brookville Hospital
Succumbs to Shock From Amputation of Mangled Right Arm
Glenn E. Henry, whose right arm was crushed and mangled in a corn husker last Wednesday morning, died that night in Brookville Hospital, following amputation of the arm at the shoulder.
The body was brot to the White undertaking rooms at the New Bethlehem and later taken to the home of the deceased’s parents, Mr. and Mrs. Charles J. Henry, of Leatherwood, who are broken-hearted over the tragic death of their only son. The funeral service which was one of the largest ever held in the neighbor, was in Leatherwood Presbyterian church. A tribute from the pastor, with an account of the young man’s life and death, may be found on another page of this paper.
Glenn Henry’s death is a shock to the community where the family name is a household word and where the young man himself was so very highly esteemed. Words are cold but many a heart really is overwhelmed with sympathy for the bereaved parents.
